Welcome to My Blog!

Most of the college students I know are very busy. We're juggling internships, research positions, and part time jobs. On top of that, we're expected to keep up with a full class load and a social life. For those of you who are far more evolved than me, doing all of this is easy. But for lesser beings like myself, eating right and exercising regularly is difficult.

Simply finding the time to eat has become increasingly difficult as I go through college. Please take me back to the simple days of freshman year where I could grab a meal at the union and take a nap in my dorm between classes. Now, meals are a social event. They act as a way for me to multitask: meet with friends, grab a meal, and take a much needed"break", before I bolt to the next meeting or class. Lunch breaks that used to be at least an hour and a half have turned into 15-25 minute breaks. Some days all I have time to do is to grab a bag of chips or something else that I can eat on the go. 

These short lunches do not lend themselves to healthy food options. By the time I come home --around 8 to 10pm-- I'm exhausted and the last thing I want to do is cook a (mediocre) meal and wash all of the dishes that came with it. 

Fortunately, I've been getting better at this whole college thing. This blog will show some helpful tips I've discovered along the way, and cheap, easy recipes (I am a student, after all).
